Improve my posture – How will Pilates help me?

Pilates is all about moving efficiently. What makes Pilates so important with respect to posture is that Pilates trains us to develop and use core strength, rather than holding our position with superficial musculature.

Using the deep core muscles of the powerhouse; the abdominals, back, and pelvic floor, to support our posture allows the shoulders to relax, the neck and head to move freely and relieves stress on the hips, legs, & feet.

Most of us know good posture when we see it, and we are inspired by how free and strong it makes a person look, but there are so many other reasons to attend to ones posture!

Benefits of Good Posture:

• pain relief throughout the body, including back and neck pain, hip pain, leg and foot pain.
• allows us to move efficiently
• improves muscle function
• increases range of motion
• takes pressure off of compressed organs
• improves circulation
